What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years, has aston
ished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs,
Colds and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save Doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is pos
itively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, IS cts, large
bottles.

AROUND THE WoRLD.-Our theatre-gO-
ing public had been promised rich enter
tainment in John Thomps0ns famous Gre
alton Around the World" which was
presented at Burwell Hall last Saturday
night; and they were not disappointed, if
we are to Judge by the laughter and APP
plause which kept the house in an uproar
of noise almost from the time the curtain
rose ON the first act until it was rung down
on the last. Perhaps no performance ever
given here on Saturday night was wit
messed by SO large an audience, and GER
tainly we never saw better pleased one.
John Thompson is genius both as come
dian and musician, and must be seen to be
appreciated. AS character artist his YER
satility is truly wonderful, his representa-
ton of the various nations, German,
French, Irish, Italian, Hebrew, Chinese,
etc, being done to perfection. Thompson
is whole team in himself to witness
whose mirth-provoking antics and side
splitting comicalities is to want to see him
again. In the very pleasing rendition OF
| the performance Mr.. Thompson was ably
assisted by Miss Mollie Thompson, bril-
liant young pianist, and Miss Dotie Maggie
soprano singer.

which amounted to $50, will be applied to
the finishing Of the church. The best part
of the acting is said by competent judges
to have been "MoOn-light Castle" Mrs.
Oldham, of Ridgeway, sang several pieces,
and her singing was decidedly the most
enjoyable part of the entertainment. She

very charming little actress and in the
more emotional parts displays rare histri-

with which she played her part quite be-
witched her auditors. Mr.. Benedict is a
strong actor and in some scenes proved
himself the equal of any who has yet de-
lighted Henderson audience. One of the

United PreSbyterians.

WARM DISCUSSION OF THE TOBACCO QUESTION.
The United Presbytertans' Assembly continued
Its session yesterday IN Philadelphia. The report
OF the committee OF the Board Of Education rec
commended the adoption OF a rule prohibiting the
use Of tobacco by benefciaries. This caused dis
cussion OF the tobacco question. Rev.W. NJ. HOWE
said that while church members are paying money
TO educate young men they, at least, should lay
aside a habit that was so obnoxious TO many. He
moved as additional resolution that in case the
boys OF the academies violated the rule a second
time all aid should be cut of. Rev. Andrew Nc
CARNEY spoke in defense Of the boys, and argued
that II the professors had right to chew and
smoke, so also had the students. Rev.. s. Martin
said when he smoked at the expense OF the board
they were at liberty TO cut OF his appropriation.
The afternoons session was taken up by anil
mated discussion regarding the resignation OF Rev.
Jas. Skinner Of Iowa, who had been advised TO re-
sign by the PreSbytery and had retained his office.
The synod OF Iowa took no further steps In the
matter, and the question was whether the act OF
the PreSbytery was made null and void thereby.
The appeal was sustained, and the resignation,
which was involuntary, was by large majority,
declared accepted
